Why did Valve allow HTML MotDs? People are putting sounds and music in the MOTD when you join a server, and theres no way to disable downloading them from what I've seen.
So...yeah, my ping sucks ass until its downloaded (of course, no progress bar either).
That doesn't matter though. If I'm not autokicked for having a ping over 150ms, I'm kicked because my lag is somehow magically causing others to lag (hello netcode 101: shit don't work like that).
*sigh*....sorry, venting.
